NE Youths Racially Abused, Attacked at Sujangarh Railway Station

Sujangarh, Rajasthan | Oct 7, 2025: Two youths from Northeast India—a man and a woman—faced racial abuse and physical assault at Sujangarh Railway Station in Rajasthan while waiting for a Delhi-bound train.

According to the victims, the incident began when they refused food offered at a nearby eatery. A local man allegedly reacted aggressively, asking, "Why can’t you eat Rajasthani food?" The situation escalated when the male victim, identified as Mr. Leng, was pulled aside and strangled with a scarf by the same local individual.

The victims, both working at a school in the area, were left helpless after the attack. They attempted to contact the Northeast Helpline at 1093, but the line was unreachable, adding to their distress.

They are currently at Sujangarh Railway Station, awaiting their train to Delhi. Immediate intervention from authorities has been urged to ensure their safety and address the incident.
